of the tribune may thi bright weeklv continue its high calibre for 1947 onr teacher mrs w topper and pupils presented an excellent pro gram to an overflowing house last thursday evening by r j deachmant some people have long memories- i was talking to a chap yesterday who said corporation profits are far too high what he might have said was some corporation profits are too high that would have presented an arguable point but my friend ignored the fact that in the anything in electrical api states the home of big pro- i- all l ere have been very sharp piiances ml wotk guar- ant m some

throughout the whole new year stouffville creamery co our greeting to you is short simple but sincere merry christmas happy new year carload groceteria cogggggqoogoobgoooqggggooooogqbooo i mentioned not long ago the case of the lincoln electric company of cleveland ohio mr james f lin coln the head of that t company spoke not long ago in the city of toronto he has succeeded in mak ing big profits reducing the price of the products he sold paying his men the highest wages of any cor poration in the world so when we make a general and sweeping state ment in regard to profits we are likely to be wrong there are many variations in our industrial picture sweeping general statements are likely to be wrong then my friend went back further than this and put forward the claim that whatever might be said of capitalism as we have it today it was desperately hard and cruel at the time of the industrial revolu tion and in the days of the chartist movement who can doubt it mans trail across the face of the earth has often been marked by cruelty yet through it all we moved upwards seeking always for a better way what happened in that period man began to harness power to industry the united kingdom was a capital hungry country the ordinary means of credit creation scarcely existed the banking sys tem had not reached the position it now holds the leaders of industry might have lowered prices and thus raised slightly the standard of liv ing on the other hand they might use their profits for the more rapid application of new methods of pro duction it was only natural that they should select the latter course they looked forward to an expand ing trade to a phenomenal increase of production they used their pro fits for the expansion of industry for the increase of employment and eventually for the betterment of conditions of the nation as a whole the result their country made phenomenal progress greater then than in any other country of the world of course the socialists might have tackled the job oh no socialism comes after production is well established it takes over what others have built it does not build from the bottom nothing so inspires men to effort as the conception that they are going to build great industries which will not only bring them profit but benefit the nation as a whole do not laugh lightly at the last suggestion making money is not everything in the eyes of the builders there is the price that flows from seeing the structures rise mooooooooogooeoofloaogaoecoaegooom merry christmas joyous new year to all this christmas we call all to be jolly and happy
